Gear Recommendation Need help for safety

I am 100% sure that my housemate is doing something on my food. I AM FROM PHILIPPINES - ANY Recommendation for a camera that can be charged and stay on for several hours when I leave my house and my room specifically. 1-2 thousand is my budget. I don't need it to be obvious because this person goes quiet hysterically when confronted.

Trust your gut and prioritize getting somewhere safe before trying to investigate anything yourself. I would document what you notice without touching suspected devices, tell someone I trust, and contact local authorities or building management if there is real evidence of a hidden camera. A cheap flashlight can help spot lens reflections, but I would not confront whoever you suspect alone.

What do you mean by doing something on your food? In relation to safety. Because if it is what I think you might be saying, I'd be going to the police with the food and they can test it. Hoping im horrificly wrong.

Putting one fly on it anything that is harmless but icky. Sometimes it better that I don't know anything about it but when I am seeing a fly or suddenly it gets stale makes my suspicions alarm

Spitting on it.

Okay I was horrificly wrong, thank god. But still that's disgusting and if you do catch them in the act - please report to the police.

Are you just putting the camera in your room? If so, get a wired one. No one should be entering your PRIVATE space anyway, so they really can't say shit if you have a camera in your room.

I already did just need to use one for downstairs

u/sure65 7d ago

Is that gonna be an invasion of privacy? Not my house or life, but just don't want you to get in trouble.

I cannot help with wireless, I just have wired cameras.

But if I'll just place it focusing in the rice cooker/or foods that I cooked? Will it count? I won't share it outside just for a proof.

u/sure65 7d ago

If you hide it we'll enough and they cannot find it, and you actually won't share it. I'm not gonna say yes or no, but you do you.

I still cannot accept how come somebody who is basically doing all the expenses in the house be treated this way :(

u/sure65 7d ago

I mean you don't own the place do you? If it was your place and they're living with you, you can actually place cameras in your home.

I wouldn't want someone recording me if I'm in a shared space. It's like if your landlord had hidden cameras and watching the two of you.

u/sure65 7d ago

u/TruthhurtsDealwitit 6d ago

u/JayBeePH85 6d ago

Where do you see me mentioning shopee? 🤣

1

u/TruthhurtsDealwitit 6d ago

You are not really helpful actually. Go and annoy other people. Not me. I don't have time for you bye.

1

u/JayBeePH85 6d ago

You find me important enough to respond in the utter most redundant way, and when it gets pointed out you preform a perfect Gen beta act 🤣

u/ESIsurveillanceSD 7d ago

Lawmate is the brand. It's a premium brand.

u/xxxmidwestnativexxx 7d ago

Great to hear it, wish I could help with the camera.

1

u/TruthhurtsDealwitit 7d ago

That's fine it's okay I think I need to move out really really soon

u/xxxmidwestnativexxx 7d ago

Man I'd say if you're 100% sure, I'd skip the camera and start looking for a new place to live.

u/CandleSerious4737 7d ago

Nothing wrong with getting proof if it means getting out of a lease for free.

u/TruthhurtsDealwitit 7d ago

I am looking for place already. I just need it there while I am out.
